What’s more, this port was requested specifically by Platinum Games, likely due to the general unhappiness regarding the existing PC port. This version includes a borderless full-screen video option, HDR, a UI upscaled for 4K, and FidelityFX. It can also be purchased directly on the Microsoft Store. With the help of the good folks at QLOC (thanks, the Become As Gods edition of the game is now available on PC for anyone with Game Pass.

Shockingly, the Game Pass and MS Store version of Nier: Automata isn’t simply the already existing PC port on a new storefront - it’s a different port of the game. But Nier: Automata‘s launch on Game Pass and the Microsoft Store just might change that, as it’s apparently the updated version. Many fans were left with no option but to purchase a broken release that the community had to fix with a widely available mod. Years after release, the PC version of game available on Steam never got patched. That’s not a wholly uncommon occurrence when it comes to ports of Japanese games, but it’s not a big deal, right? They always get fixed.

From performance headaches to problems with resolution, the port was simply quite rough. When Nier: Automata launched on PC, there were a lot of problems with the port.
